Alpine is also GNU-free afaik.

EDIT: Except for the GCC toolchain.

@LeFantome@programming.dev · 2Y

Alpine is still GCC based in the very least.

@Zucca@sopuli.xyz · 2Y

Indeed it seems so.

z3bra · 2Y

That’s right ! It uses BusyBox as its userland which was my main problem with it (though you can easily install GNU coreutils).

Baron Von J · 2Y

had the same thought, not sure if Alpine is built with LLVM though.

@Zucca@sopuli.xyz · 2Y

Yup. It uses GCC toolchain afaik.

Chimera Linux actually uses apk or Alpine Package Keeper as its package manager, they acknowledge this but despite that market themselves as if they did something revolutionary that has never been done before

@bdonvr@thelemmy.club · 2Y

It’s a lot of things-free, to be fair

z3bra · 2Y

That’s kind of the point though, as it’s now used as a base for many containers ;)

@monotrox@discuss.tchncs.de · edit-2 2Y

Its still amazing how easy it is to use, you can get a desktop environment running in a couple of minutes and apk is insanely fast and easy

Would have probably tried as my main PC distro if NVIDIA drivers would work on it :(
